GROUNDWORK: OBEDIENCE & HABITS
Most dogs aren't the problem.
Most owners just don't know
how to train them.
Our group dog training classes in Chicago give your dog real practice around other dogs and everyday distractions, not just quiet, one on one repetition. Groundwork is a 5-week group program built around one idea: the handler S.H.A.P.E.S. the dog. You'll learn how to communicate clearly and build habits that stick — not just in class, but at home, on walks, and everywhere else that actually matters.

Training That Holds Up Around Other Dogs
A dog that behaves at home but falls apart around other dogs has not fully learned the skill yet. Group classes close that gap by building real world distractions into training from the very first week, so the behavior you see in class is the same behavior you get on your street.​
